As the world grows increasingly reliant on advanced AV technology, understanding the nuances of various protocols and tools will be crucial. Matt Boyer, the Chief Technology Officer at Vistacom, recently discussed NDI (Network Device Interface) —  a vital component in modern AV setups, and the role it will play in the future of the AV industry.

On a recent episode of his show “Dear Matt,” Boyer explored the intricacies of NDI while he addressed a viewer’s question about NDI transmission and its benefits in different AV environments. He explained the development of NDI and its purpose, and detailed that NDIs have diverse applications in video production, conferencing, and transport. Boyer also highlighted NDI’s cost-effectiveness and adaptability and how it has increasingly become an ideal choice for a range of AV systems.

During the segment, Boyer further explored the ways in which NDIs are eliminating traditional switchers, and revolutionizing the AV world by simplifying installations. Boyer noted that this is helping increase the prevalence of NDIs in standard AV installations.
